Question

A number cube is tossed and the spinner below is spun. Find P(3 and C).

Answer 1

`P(3\ and\ C) = (1)/(24)`

Explanation:

Given

Cube and Spinner (See attachment for spinner)

Required

Find P(3 and C)

In the attached spinner, there are 8 partitions and C = 2

So:

`P(C) = (2)/(8)`

`P(C) = (1)/(4)`

In a number cube, there are 6 faces and 1 side is 3.

So:

`P(3) = (1)/(6)`

P(3 and C) is calculated as:

`P(3\ and\ C) = P(3) * P(C)`

`P(3\ and\ C) = (1)/(6) * (1)/(4)`

`P(3\ and\ C) = (1)/(24)`
